Which teams will have the best spring QB battles? | Late Kick Live Ep. 242 Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 242 features Josh Pate discussing the top QB battles across College Football as we enter spring practice. With newcomers like Cade Klubnik at Clemson set to push DJ Uiagalelei at Clemson along with Conner Weigman coming in to challenge Haynes King at Texas A&M, could we go a long way in learning about potential 2022 contenders based on what we see emerging at the QB position later this month? What will happen at places like Florida, North Carolina, Auburn, and Oregon? Targeting was a hot-button issue on Sunday’s show, and tonight Josh brings an updated take with a look at the potential legal ramifications of changing College Football’s targeting rules. Josh also brings back the Mood Tracker segment as we take the temperature of the Texas fan base. All that plus we open the mailbag for a wide-ranging listener + viewer Q&A segment.

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 241 features Josh Pate taking a look at UGA Football and the changing perspective of Kirby Smart’s program in the eyes of the College Football public. With an impressive NFL Combine showing coming on the heels of a national title, are things really that different in Athens or is the same process they always used finally paying off?

What should be done in these instances to actually improve the game? Josh also brings back the Mood Tracker segment as we take the temperature of the Notre Dame fan base.

SEC Approval Ratings | Late Kick Live Ep. 239 Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 239 features Josh Pate looking around the SEC at different approval ratings from fan bases towards their head coach. Is this the highest overall satisfaction rate we’ve ever seen in College Football’s most rabid conference? How did we get to a place of such relative tranquility and how long can that possibly last? Aside from Bryan Harsin’s situation at Auburn, where would the next most turbulent approval rating even be found? We also discuss the recruiting dynamics in Texas, Florida, and California. Could things be getting ready to change in multiple geographical regions AND could that spell a shift in the competitive balance of College Football overall?
